Analysis of Economic Impacts of Proposed nPB Rule for Aerosols and Adhesives, Final, with attachments.

Quick Links

EPA's Office of Air and Radiation analyzed the potential economic impacts of three options for regulation of n-propyl bromide (nPB) under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program. The objective of the analysis was to determine the societal costs of the regulatory options. The analysis focuses in particular on small businesses, although EPA has analyzed impacts on large businesses as well. The majority of nPB is used in solvent cleaning, aerosol solvents and as a carrier solvent in adhesives.
